The 8 Minute Chest Workout

Lie facedown on your stomach, with a straight line running from the top of your head to your heels. Press your palms into the ground and lift your entire body two inches up. Pulse one inch up and one inch down, fifty times. Advanced: Lift four inches off the ground and do another fifty pulses. Hold for thirty seconds.

Chest Opener

Warms muscles.

Lie on your stomach, reach your hands back, and grab your ankles. Slowly use your leg strength and lift your upper body off the ground. Hold where it feels effective and take five deep breaths into your chest.

Chest Burn

Builds chest density.

Lie on your stomach with your arms out to your sides at 90 degree angles, so your elbows are in line with your shoulders and your middle fingers are in line with your elbows. While pressing your forearms and palms down, lift your torso off the ground, from your chin to your belly button. Advanced: Lift your entire body, balancing on your toes, palms, and forearms. Hold for thirty seconds.

Joel Harper, New York City personal trainer to the likes of Olympic medalists and one Dr. Mehmet Oz, has devised a weeklong exercise regimen designed to loosen, and then strengthen, your body, one part at a time.
